Hello, my names Taylor, also known as CC.
I have 2 hermanns tortoises.
All tortoises should have a stable indoor and outdoor enclosure, both should be predator, and escape proof.
indoors can be the following:
Tortoise Table (google it)
Indoor Rabbit Cage
Bookcase on its back
Large storage tub
Rubbermaid tub
any of those cna be used and do well.
their substrates indoors should be either:
Soil and 50/50 mix of playsand
Bed-a-Beast (also known as Ready-Bed)
Hemcore
or aspen
They should have a uvb light minimum 5.0 anything higher is better..along with a basking light.
never use heat rocks, heat pads, heat mats or anything that gives heat from below.
You can use a desktop lamp for a heat light and stick in in the cage pointing downwards.
You shouldnt ever use a Glass tank, or wooden viv, both are bad and cause big problems.
i have had 2 tortoises die due to glass tanks and wooden vivs.
Depending on species diet is important.
Tortoises are not so smart, and think they can push through most things.
but if they have a cage thats not glass, and is spacious, clean, and have obstacles in their happy to run freely in their cage without smashing against sides.
Glass can cause internal bleeding, or internal bruises due to their banging glass, and trying to do other things.
